not really and easy project if you can't get the door open all the way otherwise you will be bending your product chute getting it out..than putting it back in you can jam it up into the chain sprockets and parts will be flying!!! cool
This is a very informative video. My old Dixie Narco from the early 1980's didn't come with a manual. However, it seems to be quite similar sans the vending and door sensors. If I ever need to replace my compressor, I feel like I can do it after watching this video. I like your other videos. Too bad that you don't have any old 'vintage' machines to service. Mine is not old enough for the Soda Works people, and too old for most modern vendors. Mine falls into a 'donut hole' if you will. I subscribed to your channel.
Yeah...Dixie Narco stack machines are pretty easy to swap out the compressors too. I think the old machines look neat, but they are not practical when trying to make money with a vending machine....so I only buy machines mid-90s or newer.
@@HappyVending We got ours dirt cheap from an old Coke delivery man (retired) who was able to take one home in the early 90's when this model was replaced by newer machines. It is in fantastic shape other than the coin mech needed repaired. It's still an S75. I'm putting a 3340 in it. I live in a touristy town. I bought it mainly for my family and I've always wanted to own a soda machine. If other people or neighbors use it, wonderful. If not, no big deal. However, if I get bitten by the bug, this may be something that I look into. I am thinking about taping dollar bills to a few random cans, or making certificates to local businesses in town to put on select cans. It might add to the fun and more people might use my machine?
As always your videos are very informative and help so much. I have the same machine you have and I'm wondering why are your cans in the machine are facing outwards? I thought they went the opposite? need to know if I'm doing it wrong but I dont think I am.
You can call a refer tech to add freon but remember it's a sealed system so whatever he adds it's going to leak back out most all leaks are at the evaporator area which are very hard to fix easier to replace the whole evap.
destroy the o-zone... he's hilarious - I can't stop watching. I don't even have this machine yet!!! lol lol then she says "she's LOOSE !" =) Man he did all this on a whim. WOW. wasn't planning on doing any of this and killed this process. Amazing!
probably a bad coin mech....or electrical interference in the area such as a flickering florescent light bulb somewhere near the machine. Possibly a broken ground on the machine.
hi, you wouldn't have the link where you bought the cooling deck. I have the same royal 660-9 but I'm having trouble finding one for this model. I know its been a few years but doesn't hurt to ask. Thank you again for your videos.
I always buy them direct from Royal...they usually have them in stock...but they are pricey now. I know because I had to purchase one a few months ago and it was 800 dollars. Give royal a call at 1-800-931-9214
so i just purchased a Royal GIII. fortunately the previous owner gave me a 6 mo warranty since he replaced the cooling deck several months back. the compressor does kick on but the condenser coils don't get cold. i was thinking it needed to be charged. i know you mentioned that you would have a refrigeration specialist come out, but is it something i can charge myself? i was thinking similar to charging the system in a vehicle.
If he gave you a warranty why don't you call him? Are you sure the compressor is kicking on and not just the evaporator fan? To recharge the system you would need to put a tap on the line.
Hey Bill, nice video! Fernando from Chile here. I got a few soda machines, same model, fist kind of machines that i have(I have more snack machines, other brand) . The connection from the machine to the cooling deck is just de relay with the plug right? The temperature sensor is not connected directly with the cooling deck, its connected with the controlboard im right? thanks
Yes, you are correct on both questions. The cooling deck simply plugs into the relay with a regular outlet...and the temp sensor goes to the control board...not the cooling deck.
Where is the actual thermostat on this royals? I just got a 660 and shows 40 degrees dont know if thats the optimal temperature for cold drinks or has to be colder?
The temp sensor on most royals are on the back of the machine. The temp should run between 32 to 42 degrees...depending on where your cutoff and on temps are set at.
Oh yea and how do you get it to say that is it through the credit card reader if so how do you program that I have the Nayax touch screen ones thanks and great work
None of my machines have a relay for the evaporator fan. When the machine is on, the fan is always on. The relay kit was an added option and you would mount the relay somewhere in the cabinet. If you go to the relay test in the config menu, and you try to test the fan relay and it doesn't turn off the fan, then your machine probably doesn't have the relay either. You can contact Royal about getting the relay add-on kit, but it is easiest to just leave the fan on all the time.
Where the temp sensor my compressor won't kick on I did a test and the compressor works as it should but then it goes back to vend mode it won't cut on
Hi I have a machine like this. And want to install credit card reader. How hard is is to do and do I have to move anything on the controls like going into password and like going to card reader. If I can make a video on the card install thanks ricky.
If your machine is MDB, then it should be a pretty easy install. I have a Nayax account and have been happy with their readers. They set up the readers for you, you just install them in your machine. Just make sure you unplug the machine before plugging the card reader into the coin mech and bill acceptor.
@@robs7986 Yes...it is a complete unit ready to go. You can also find remanufactured units for about 290 on eBay...but I prefer buying new units direct from Royal.
I have a question I cant find the answer anywhere else I have a coca cola 660 the power cord has it's own little reset on it when I plug it in it runs for a couple of days then when I go back its powered off I have to hit the reset button why does it keep powering off after a couple days could it be a bad power cord also around 100 to 110 degrees or so in my building could that cause it to cut off it never cut off in the winter I dont think
Sounds like you have a ground fault interrupter on your cord that is going bad. Is that permanently installed, or is it on a little pigtail that the power cord plugs into? Is the machine located outside? I don't use GFI on any of my machines. If this machine is inside, I would just put a regular power cord on it. If you really need a GFI on it, you could install a GFI outlet in the wall and just put a regular plug on the machine.

why not check the compressor with your multimeter to see if the compressor is grounded or shorted out? It could be just a simple start relay, overload or start capacitor. or it could be a wire that is loose, come on man!! If you walked by the vendor a few weeks ago and noticed the temp at 89 degrees and you let it go that long of time some of the cans or bottles could have exploded or started leaking..
Based on the age of the unit, even if it needed a 3 in 1 start capacitor, that is only a temporary fix and it would eventually go bad again. It is a busy machine and I decided it was worthy of a new cooling deck. It's still working great to this day and has made back the money I put into the cooling deck 10 fold. Once I saw it was warm, I unplugged the machine and no cans exploded or leaked.
Tried Sprite but it was not a good seller so I pulled it. Also tried Pepsi...but Coke sells better. We do have Cherry Pepsi in one faculty room because a staff member requested it.
Dam...I’m impressed that he did that repair job with a tie. Thanks for the video.

Hello
I enjoyed your video . How did you get the machine to say “thank you and goodbye “ after every vend ?
The voice is coming from the Nayax credit card reader. That is something you can turn on in their software.
get one with the Max Headroom voice

Go to Operations, then Machines, then choose your machine. Then click on the Attributes tab and make sure the Language/Audio options are turned on.
On the nayax machine or the app?
@@jdmtake1 Using the Nayax computer interface....I'm not sure exactly where it would be on the app. You can't control much on the machine itself.
